I need income my gosh

Why is it so hard to find reputable work from home as a sahm. We are struggling over here financially and I feel really hopeless. We have 0.42 cents in our bank account until Friday. Then most of it goes to bills. We are running low on groceries it’s making me really anxious. I want to be able to help my husband and contribute financially because this is ridiculous. I only became a sahm because we could not afford child care and now with two kids I don’t even know what to do anymore. Why is everything so damn expensive.

Literally just went through this. Finally broke down and got a job at a daycare so my son could go. It's only my second day so who knows what the future holds. But they gave me 50% off daycare costs. Not ideal but just an idea if youre desperate. Could always keep looking for a remote position and quit if you find one.

I didnt need any qualifications. And tbh it was really easy to get hired. I think its a very common arrangement. I did do a lot of research on different daycare and chose one that I trust for my son to go to. And one that is education based because I think thats important. I wouldnt just choose a random daycare cause not all of them will be good for your kiddo or fun to work at. My daycare has like 18 teachers; super well staffed. Which is important for your sanity because you don't wanna be the only teacher with 20 toddlers lol

Birthday money

Hello, I found out my boyfriend sent his female colleague £50 for her 30th birthday as she was also going on holiday so said it was for that too. They worked together for 6 years but he doesn't work there anymore. He didnt tell me he sent her money. Hes really kind and generous but its annoying me he didn't tell me and it felt like a secret. Do we think this is odd?

I don’t care to have that pleasure anymore… but I know he “ needs it “ . idk what to do . & yes i’ve talked to him about it & he just says “ I don’t remember taking it off “ or try’s lie saying he never took it off . & he just gets mad at me saying he’s so frustrated cause I don’t “ put out anymore “…..

How often would you say you need sex?

I only cave it like 2-3 times a month. This is my personal opinion and experience 👇

I feel there’s a big group of women who only crave sex 2-4 times a month and are afraid to own it. And this could be from their unfulfilling sexual experiences, problems with their partner, exhaustion, or just how often they naturally crave it and feel genuinely aroused.

And most of these women often end up having more sex than what they actually grave bc societal pressure to be a sexual woman and their partners requiring it more frequently so they end up having sex not properly aroused. And the men end up believing that that is something normal a woman can do but its not and it ends up affecting her and therefore affecting their relationship.

Maternity leave

I have been working with my company since September 2025 and I’m worried I’m not going to be eligible for maternity pay. What do I do if I’m not. My partner works but it’s not enough to support us. I get UC and child benefit.

If you had to butcher the animals yourself, would you still eat meat?

I'm debating eating meat again,for various reasons, I'm a vegetarian. I was also watching a stand up where the comedian has a farm and was saying it turns into an animal sanctuary as he couldn't kill them but would get Popeye delivery 🤣
